First time coming here instead of my normal place because it was closer to my house. I walked in on a slow Tuesday afternoon and was told it would take 30-35 minutes to be out the door, 25 minutes later they finally took my car into the shop, and 1 hour later it was finally done, but that wasn't the end of it. I have a 2005 SAAB 9-2x, which is a unique car because it is physically a Subaru WRX with SAAB logos on it. SAAB bought this model in 2005-2006 and rebranded the outside, but the stock parts under the hood are branded Subaru, any new parts I buy need to be from Subaru because SAAB went bankrupt, and it is serviced at a Subaru dealer. That being said, the car failed the test due to the K&N air intake because SAAB didn't test K&N parts. The same exact intake is listed as PASSING by Subaru for the WRX, but because SAAB didn't personally test this separately from Subaru (because they went out of business), it fails. Maybe I'm a little salty because it failed, but it also seems like an obscure technicality to not pass for. Not to mention that I bought this car 4 years ago with it's current setup and have never had an issue with it at any other smog location. Their suggested resolution? Go buy a stock part, put it on to test it, and then put the K&N back on. Thanks but no thanks, they can have my $50. I'd rather take it to a regular smog location and pay for another test than buy a new part and take it back here. read more

Ruth's is very nice, lobby is warm, big, room for kids to play.. Look for coupon on lines they have one posted! Fast service, they take walk ins!! Great place.. Nice for older people ..comfortable and clean. read more

So of course it's easier to write a great review for a smog place when your car (which otherwise gives you problems all of the time) passes smog with flying colors... that disclaimer aside... I show up on a Monday morning as a first-time customer. Met Paul behind the desk. He noted the $10 discount before I had pronounced the "p" in "Yelp". Paul happened to be having problems getting the machine to boot up first thing in the morning. I could tell he was frustrated but he was very friendly and professional. After not too long he got the machine working and he *volunteered* another $10 discount for making me wait (for a whopping half hour). So $45 total. I was still in and out in ~ 50 minutes. I will be back next time I need a smog. read more

Awesome...supper clean, friendly and professional! I was out in 15 min. Outstanding!!! I will bring all my business in the future! read more

Nice, freindly, and conveinently located smog center. Took my work truck in and these guys were on it! Got me in and got me out for a fair price with good service. I will be back! read more

I gave them a call ahead of time to gauge the line for a smog, so when I showed up I got straight in. They were very friendly and fast. They also gave me a good tip about the DMV. I definitely used the $15 coupon on their website, so my total cost for a smog and certificate was $50. read more

Came here because of all the raving reviews on yelp. Owner asked if the car was modified to which I told him there was an exhaust and lifetime air filter. He said it was fine then said he wouldn't smog it 10 minutes later because it look modified (tires, rims and lowering springs), none of which affect smog. Anyways went down the street and passed smog with flying colors. Guy was the owner I think. 2 stars I guess since the waiting room was clean but owner was pretty rude. Would recommend going to Curtner Union Smog over this place. read more

Have used these guys several times. Great service and very competitively priced. Check their website for a $20 off coupon. Would definitely go back again. read more

Quick service and a very friendly atmosphere make it quite enjoyable to have a smog check done.

I was having a hard time getting my car to pass the smog test and advised to try this place. They got right on it, but was told that midway thru the test it just stopped. Brought my car back to me and that was that, basically just blew me off. I had to ask them what possibly I could do next and was advised to get a referee. In desperation I tried one other place....they found that I had a loose connector wire and my car passed immediately read more

I made an appointment for a STAR smog test, everything went smoothly, on-time, nice people. Thanks !!

SMOG places really don't excite me, but they're a necessity of life in California. I don't think this place is the cheapest around, but I do think they're friendly, clean, and fast. Cheap seldom means friendliest, in my experience. So pay the extra couple bucks, mention the online coupon to get $10 off, and get it done! An added bonus: they're just down the street from Starbucks, and Starbucks and the hotel across both have wifi available. [Starbucks' wifi is free if you're an AT&T customer] read more

We really like this shop and are repeat customers. The owner is very nice and professional, as is the front office staff, and the check in is painless. The waiting area is very clean and comfortable, which makes the time spent a breeze. As others have mentioned, there is a Starbucks a short walk up the street, if you want to fit in your java fix. read more

It's the 22nd of November, the day before Thanksgiving, the last day I can smog and register without paying a penalty, and Accurate Smog Check closes at 6pm. I roll in at 5:57pm... Paul _cheerfully_ smog checks my car and was probably late getting home to his family. What I didn't know until after he finished (I passed!) is that today is also HIS DAUGHTERS BIRTHDAY! And he has to leave to pick up the food for his house guests!! If this is not the definition of excellent customer service I don't know what is. Paul - Thank you so much for taking care of me this evening. Please apologize to your family and friends on my behalf and I promise to arrive well before closing in the future. read more

I'm confident in life (most days) but never when it comes to cars. I like car places that are nice, friendly and if family owned that's a plus. This place is all of those things. I loved the seating in the waiting area and the location is perfect. Highly recommend! read more

Very quick and friendly service. For a smog check it was $65. They have a nice waiting room. There was one person in front of me and it took less than 15 minutes. Besides doing a smog check they can also do a smog test. read more

I took my 1992 Honda Accord to Paul to get my good old smog done and he took care of me. My boss recommended me to Paul and told me he's a great guys and knows what he is doing. And all of that is true. My car has and engine swap, and has gone through the California BAR and had passed with flying colors. 2 years ago when I took it to smog, my car would not pass.. And the reason why was because the guy whom I took my car to was not scanning, or inputting the right BAR number into the system. So 2 years ago I spent close to $600 in repairs that I probably didn't have to do. Paul reviewed my past smog data on this computer, and told me the last time I smoged they didn't even try to input the correct numbers!! So Paul puts my car onto the Smog machine, and inputs the correct BAR number, and my car Passes as if it was a hybrid!.. haha ok not really, but It passed and now i'm good for another 2 years, till i'm back at Pauls. His prices are great! because he's not insisting I spend $500 on fake repairs. Go to Accurate Smog, and get your car done right! Thanks Paul for all your help! read more

I have had many cars smoged at Accurate Smog. Paul knows his stuff. It seems to me his brain is full of technical information that will help you pass smog. He knows exactly what is going on inside the car's emission system. I took my car in but it did not pass because it had been sitting idle for a while. He explained to me in details "WHY" it did not pass and what needs to get done for it to pass. So I drove for about 50 miles and came back for re-test and it passed. Thank you Paul!! Also the office receptionist (sorry can not remember her name) is very pleasant, friendly over the phone and in person. See you shortly!! read more

I came here yesterday, based solely on Yelp reviews and I'm glad I did. I was in and out in about 20 mins, had my online coupon from www.wecansmogit.com and saved 10 bucks. Easiest smog ever. Will go back next time for sure. Highly recommended! Thanks Accurate Smog! read more

Very friendly staff and fast service. I was in and out under 30 minutes! Don't forget to present your printed coupon for $15 off, very helpful. read more

Found this place on Yelp for a smog check and it was exactly as everyone said: clean, fast, pleasant staff, good service. Will definitely be back. read more

Prompt, courteous service. Waiting area has WiFi/limited seating (but should be sufficient). Easy to drive by the place if you don't have a sense where it is. Look 4 coupon. read more

I have driven by their shop for 5 years and never used their service because there was one closer where I lived (the smog check place on Curtner and Lincoln). The place I go to normally was incredibly disappointing so I decided to try this place out. These guys were very fast, professional, affordable and clean. Seriously, what's not to love about this place. This is where I'm coming to now on! read more

Can't say enough about Paul, he was recommended by a friend and I will definitely be recommending him to mine. Paul was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. read more

I went to this place based on other reviews and I'm glad I did! They were quick, professional and at a great price. This is what I could afford with the coupon that someone was very nice to post on here. Thank you Brooke I! I will be back here again and tell all my friends. It's quick and easy to find too. Very close to hwy 17. Thanks Accurate Smog and fellow Yelpers! read more

My car needed to get smogged recently and so I searched Yelp. Why not take it down the street you ask? Because I must be one of the lucky ones that got randomly chosen for Test Only. Nice. So I searched Yelp and found this place. They have a coupon online that gets you $10 off if you mention it. The lobby is nice and clean and they have a soda vending machine and a decent selection of magazines. Now here comes the part where I know I'm turning into an old lady: The last time I owned a car and needed it smogged, it was TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS plus the cert fee. When the holy eff did it get to be $65??? I'm sure any tech/mechanic could give me a laundry list of reasons for the increase in cost, but I'm pretty sure it's a racket. With that said, the guy at the front desk was super nice and explained how it all worked. -Which I already knew, but it was nice of him. How was he supposed to know and it's nicer to explain everything than assume someone knows how smog stuff works. The tech who did the smog was nice too. I think I waited less than 15 minutes for the whole thing. I'm sure on the weekends it's a different story. But for me, it's just one of the many perks of being unemployed. read more

I should have come here first. After running around town trying to find a place to do my smog test so I could register my car in California, I came here based on the recommendation yelp and the referral from the mechanic. Paul was very courteous and very fast. He had me in and out in a half hour total! He even offered to take the plates off my car (since the DMV wants you to do that when your plates are from out of state) I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for fast courteous and honest service. read more

In and out this morning. Good service. nice comfortable waiting room. I will be back 3-4 times a year with my driveway full of cars. Update: after a few years and maybe 6 visits, I wanted to add that this smog check station is still 5 stars great. read more

I went to have 1 of 4 of my cars smogged and it didn't pass. They said it could be the spark plugs. I had the spark plugs replaced as well as the wires and valve cover gasket. Brought it back and it still didn't pass. Brought it back to my regular auto mechanic and had a new catalytic converter put in. Brought it to a different smog place and they said it was the wrong one. Brought it back to my mechanic. He put in the one recommended by the CA state REF. Brought it back to this smog check and now they say this one is wrong, too. I obtained information from my mechanic who got the his information from the CA state REF, but this smog shop that the information isn't good enough. So now I have an appointment with the CA state REF to get their approval and then go the CA state REF assigned smog check place and have the smog done by them. I would never bring any of my other cars back to this smog place...ever! read more

Paul is the Best! Very knowledgeable and knows how to do Smog right. Fairly priced and very quick. I'm a very picky car guy and Paul is the one I use. read more

Very good service! Took my car in at the end of the day without an appointment for a smog check. Very fast and efficient. I loved the clean waiting room with unique and interesting decor. They even have a high quality air filter in the waiting room! Will get my future smog checks here for sure! read more

My smog check took less than 30 minutes. They wear face masks. They sanitize the counters & credit card reader after every transaction. They sanitized everything on my car that they touched during the inspection. They don't make appointments, so I go early - opens at 8 am. I forgot to say this time, but I live in Los Gatos in Santa Cruz County, and they can manage the different county smog requirements with DMV. read more

I was referred to Accurate Smog by my mechanic. My truck had failed Smog at Chevron and when my mechanic checked my truck out afterward, everything was fine. I went back to Chevron and they told me it doesn't matter. They would charge me a second time. I went to Accurate Smog and the customer service was wonderful and accommodating for a last minute drop in. The bonus is my truck passed inspection as it should have the first time around! And it was way cheaper as well with a free retest if your vehicle fails the first time. I highly recommend this place for your next smog inspection. read more

Consistently great, friendly and efficient service! My Subaru Outback was serviced today in 15 minutes with the smog check certification sent directly via electronic transmission. I've been taking my cars here for smog checks for years. No appointment necessary. Free Wi-Fi in the clean and comfortable lobby. Happy to support this nice local family business, esp. during this COVID-19 pandemic. read more

Quick, nice people, efficient. I have been coming here for about 5 years. walk in, no appointment needed, wait 20-30 min. and drive off.

This is easily the best place in California to get your car smogged. They recently moved into a new building and all I can say is WOW. Everything is very clean and all of the employees are incredibly friendly. Paul, the owner is the most honest , friendly, and trustworthy car person you'll ever meet. Even when it is busy, waiting times are very short and they have free Wi-Fi so bring your iPad, laptop, etc. and stay awhile. My wife and I just had our cars smogged last week together in no time at all. Very family friendly too, so kids are welcome. You can thank me later! read more

Our 2005 Acura's battery died a few weeks before we needed to get a smog for registration and completed the "drive cycle" recommendations from the first smog location, no dice. Took it to another location and same results. Found Accurate Smog on yelp and they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They gave a few simple recommendations which made a lot of sense, way easier than the "drive cycle" and a little over an hour later, the car passed. If you're looking for a very nice people that know their stuff, and a clean and comfortable waiting room, give them a shot. Thank you Accurate Smog! read more

Super friendly. Quick. My mechanic referred me and I'll definitely be back next time I need a smog and will send my family and neighbors over. read more

Awesome, professional, fast and dependable. What more can I say. For all the years that I have taking my vehicles there, never had a bad experience. There are also some sweet personal cars there. Good job. Keep it up Paul and the team. read more

Great service and attention to detail, got me in and out quickly. The office is wiped clean every time someone comes in thank you Accurate smog read more
